The IDF says it recently razed four Hamas tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip, including one that had been previously used by the terror group to hold hostages.
The tunnels, with a total length of around four kilometers (2.5 miles), were located on the Israeli side of the Gaza ceasefire line.
According to the military, one of the tunnel routes was part of a larger underground network that had been used to hold hostages. The tunnel featured several rooms that had also been used by senior commanders in Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade, the IDF adds.
